On Saturday, 2021-04-17, Missouri DHSS announced that their de-duplication process removing antigen case counts for those who had an Antigen positive test and later had a positive PCR test was not working correctly. They removed approximately 11,500 cases, causing case counts to drop significantly. I’ve removed the 7-day average map below, and will replace it next Monday. 7-day average plots will show 0 new cases for most counties until then.


The site was last updated on 2021-04-30. All county, metro, and state level morbidity and mortality data are current as of 2021-04-29. ZIP code, disparity, and St. Louis hospitalization data are all current as of 2021-04-30. Hospitalization data at the regional and metro levels are all current as of 2021-04-16.


Welcome to Chris Prener’s tracking site for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Missouri. This site is updated nightly using data from a variety of federal, state, and local data sources as well as the New York Times’ COVID-19 Project. Chris also posts Twitter threads on Tuesday and Thursday evenings breaking down current trends in Missouri. If you are new to the site, please read the About page for an overview of these data.

Chris also emails out a weekly round-up of COVID-19 trends for Missouri. These weekly newsletters, named “River City Data,” also feature some exclusive content, including short interviews with COVID-19 experts, health care providers, and others who have insight into the pandemic. Sign up below:


Vaccinations

Initiated means individuals have received an initial dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, or the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Completed means individuals have received both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, or the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Additional vaccination maps, plots, and data about Missouri is available on our dedicated page.

Daily Data

While the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, and Kansas City provide day-by-day tracking of cumulative cases on their respective dashboards, the State of Missouri does not. The following tabs provide daily breakdowns of COVID data as well as additional statistics not included in the existing dashboards. Data are also provided for the wider St. Louis and Kansas City metro areas. Please note that the two average columns for reported cases and deaths are both seven-day rolling averages.

  • The underlying data for these maps are available from GitHub in the county_full.csv, metro_full.csv, and state_full.csv tables, which are assembled from data provided by the New York Times.
  • The FAQ contains a short explanation of per-capita rates.
  • All averages presented are 7-day rolling averages.

Infection Rates by County

This map shows infections as a rate per 1,000 residents. It is important not to map the raw counts themselves, but if you want to see those data, click on a county.
